INTRODUCTION
|
Northeast
Vietnam is a destination most tourists who go to Vietnam do
not visit. It is really a pity, because sceneries here are
fabulous. In some of the places, tourism is still very scarce.
These areas offer breathtaking views and interesting
subcultures. The legendary lake of Ba Be surrounded by
primeval forest, the scenic BanGioc Waterfall, the historical
Pac Po Cave...all exposed to your sight.
This trip takes you through a stunning and isolated area which
has changed little over the centuries and is steeped in
history. You will not only experience rural Vietnam behind the
scenes but also meet numerous different ethnic minority groups
who are only too pleased to let you into their world.

Days
1-3 Ha Giang
located at the highest latitude in Vietnam, the politically
sensitive Ha Giang (Hagiang) shares its borders with Vietnam's
arch-enemy China – here one gets the feeling of touching the
sky. And the infamous Vuong Palace - a H'mong high-rank family
during the French rule - with its wonderful style of
architecture
|
|
Days
4-5 Ba Be lakes
The legendary lake of Ba Be is just one continuous water
body although the name means three lakes?. Embarking on a boat
cruise down the Nang River which is the main water source of
the lake will bring a taste of the tranquil countryside and an
enjoyable exploration of the Ba Be National Park.
|
|
Days
6-7 Cao Bang - Ban Gioc Waterfalls
One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Vietnam, which
form a natural border between Vietnam and China. The echo of
the falls can be heard kilometers away. In rainy season, the
waterfall makes the scenery even more magnificent. Take a
bamboo raft trip and have a chance to visit China on the other
river bank.

|
Day
8-9 Lang Son, return to Ha Noi
Being the capital of this mountainous area, this border
town had been all destroyed during the recent Sino -
Vietnamese war, but was rebuilt to become an important trade
center. Everything can be found from electronics and gadgets
to textiles and house wares. Its definitely buyer be aware, as
there’s lots of knock-offs of the original.
